The Vedas are a collection of ancient texts considered sacred in Hinduism. They are the oldest scriptures in the Indian subcontinent and composed in Vedic Sanskrit. The Upanishads, on the other hand, are a set of philosophical texts that are considered the culmination of the Vedic teachings and discuss various topics such as the nature of reality, the self, and the ultimate truth. The Upanishads were composed by different thinkers and sages in ancient India, reflecting the diverse philosophies and interpretations of the Vedic teachings.
